Live entertainment daily...Sloppy Joe's one of the famous ones:
The start of U.S. highway 1, which also goes through our town, on the way to Maine..over 2,300 miles. The tour guide mentioned that the "Zero" mile marker is one of the most stolen signs there, and that it only takes a 3/8" wrench to remove it.
